One misperception that exists due to an error is that the documentation isn&#39;t up to standards. That is because the original draft explained that there was a link to a website with all the documentation, but somehow, in the revisions, that statement was removed. Due to the limitations of budgets in university presses, they could not and would not allow the extensive family trees with documentation that genealogists such as you and I require. My website is at www.cebillingsley.net, and there is a link to a version of the Keesee family tree with the documentation. The database is now over 8000 individuals connected to the Keesees (but not updated online) and all is documented. Alas, the emphases of historians is not that of genealogists such as ourselves, so I had to fall somewhere in the middle with the book.
